SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 360,921, dated April 12, 1887.

Application filed January 2, 1886. Serial No. 187,343. (No model.) i

To all whom it may concern: 4 with four extremities, a, equally spaced around Be it known that I, GEORGE H. SEDGWIOK, the edge, to which extremities are secured of Rochester, in the county of Monroe and connecting-rods (Z, joined to the respective 5 5 State of New York, have invented a new and sliding rods 0.

The object of my invention is to produce a E is a spiral spring incased within a suit 10 new device for truing up sheets of paper de-' able tube or barrel having arod, 0, connecting livered from a printing-press upon the table said spring with the bell-crank, which spring by the fly or similar delivering device, the tends, by pulling upon the bell-crank, to hold invention being fully described hereinbelow, the latter in position to expand the joggingand more particularly pointed outin the claim. boards, as indicated in the dotted positions in r 5 Referring to the drawings, Figure 1, Sheet Fig. 1.

held from being drawn out of said barrel by a head or ledge, u. The rod 0 passes entirely through the axis of the spring, and is formed with a head, i. between which head and the ledge a of the barrel the spring is confined, so that the latter will be compressed when the rod is drawn in a direction out of the barrel. The barrel is held to the table by means of a pin or stud, p.

The bell'cranl; D, as shown in Fig. 4, turns upon a stud, Z, projecting downward from a plate or head, it, which latter is held by com- 1n0n wood-screws or other simple means to the nether surface of the table Below the bellerank a washer, 7c, is placed upon the stud, all of which parts are held to place upon the stud by a screw-nut, v.

The slots 1) in the table lead in from the four sides thereof, thetwo leading in from the ends of the table being parallel with each other, but not in the same line, they being formed, respectively, alonglineslyingon opposite sides ofthe central longitudinal line passing through the axis of the motion of the bell-crank; also, said slots, communicating with the sides of the table, are parallel, but not in the same line, they being formed similarly on opposite sides of a central transverse line passing through said axis of the bellcrank at right angles to the central longitudinal line above mentioned.

This arrangement of the two slots of each set in different vertical planes givesa much more direct pull than would be possible were they in the same plane or line, and consequently produces less friction between the rods and their hearings, as well as obviates the tendency of the rod to stick or chock, as is the case sometimes in such mechanism.

I make no claim herein, broadly, to the in vention as expressed in the following language, Viz: As an improved sheet-piling attachment, a series of four reciprocating gages at right angles to each other arranged upon the pilingtable, between which gages the sheets are piled as they come from the press, but

\Vhat I claim as my invention is- In combination, the table, the four straight guides arranged thereon on the lines of the sides of an inclosed rectangle, the four sliding rods on which the guides are supported, the said sliding rods being at right angles to the guides, each of the two oppositely-moving rods occupying a different vertical plane from the other, and the single central actuating device operated by a moving part of the press, as set forth.
